           Date:       August 11, 2016

           Daniel R. Ch'en for the protester.
           Maria S.G. Cooke for McMurdo, Inc., an intervenor.
           Erica A. Harder Smith, Department of the Army, for the agency.

           DIGEST

           Protester's proposal was properly eliminated from the competition where the agency
           reasonably concluded that proposal failed to show compliance with International
           Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), as required.
           DECISION

           Microwave Monolithics, Inc. (Microwave) of Simi Valley, California, a small
           business, protests the elimination of its proposal from the competition under request
           for proposals (RFP) No. W91 CRB-14-R-0032, issued by the Department of the
           Army, Army Materiel Command (Army) for personal recovery devices (PRD). The
           protester asserts that the Army improperly evaluated its technical proposal.'

           We deny the protest.





           1 Our Office did not issue a protective order in connection with this protest because
           Microwave did not retain counsel who could be admitted to a protective order. A
           redacted version of the agency report was furnished to the protester. Our
           discussion regarding the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal is general
           in nature to avoid revealing information that may be proprietary to the protester.
